They are one of the leading organizations in the country for this type of work and will be able to work wonders in restoring the book. Even in its existing condition, this volume offers tantalizing glimpses of the training the seven Mercury astronauts underwent to become America's groundbreaking space pioneers. This is the first -hand account of this training to come on the market.Viewing is strongly recommended, but extreme care must be exercised during the process. Estimated Value $25,000 - 35,000.

To this writer's knowledge, only one other Collier Trophy associated with the space program has come on the market and that was sold in about 2001. While there are six similar trophies as were given to the other members of the Mercury 7, it could be said that this trophy is the ultimate, and most historic, US piece of space memorabilia a collector could aspire to.
